I do not think I have ever read such rubbish in all my nursing career as the reply Eileen Nixon gave for changing the hours at Brighton General Hospital (Opinion, July 10). I have worked in all the big London hospitals and never have patients been involved in the change of nurses' hours. I have never heard of this senior nurse. She is probably new to her job and my advice to her is: There are some things you do not involve patients with and this is one of them.
